This may have been posted here numerous times, but I don't see it anywhere just now. Anyway.

I'm not gonna post any examples because I'd rather look at myself in a mirror than look at any of Amano's artwork. Their clothes are crude and sketchy making it near impossible to tell what the characters are meant to be wearing half the time, and every single one has the same, apparently female, face. Even the male characters. When I saw the concept art of Sephiroth I began to see why they made him look so much more feminine in Advent Children, and I had trouble telling the FF5 cast apart in their sketches.

Tetsuya Nomura is the true character designer of the series: He actually makes people look different. I'm 100% convinced that Amano was only kept for "novelty" and "authenticity". There's a few exceptions like the inhuman characters, and Steiner on the FF9 PAL disc, but that's about all I can think of.

What does everyone else think?
